RE: Having a Niche on Steemit could Propel YOU to the TOP in the Future!!
Even with a niche, the problem is discovery. It is still difficult for people to find your content.

Can't agree more. We need some features in steemit that help to discover hidden gems. Trending is doing some of the jobs, however, a good search algorithm along with intuitive user interface might help in future. Steemit recently have hired a new UI expert.
Trending only rewards high reputation, old investor class steemians that write about the same topics over and over again and are voted up by other whales.
It has yet to really empower the long tail and minnows.
As the platform grows, there will be continued growth in all topics, with users searching topics more then seeing the new blogs available currently.
Do people really search?
How often do you search in Reddit? Or Twitter? Facebook?
If steemit is after Reddit, than it needs to surface more content from more people and broader topics. Maybe allow more churn on trending pages, Customizable trending pages, or saved combinations of topics.
Yes I have searched here many times. It is very helpful for looking for specific topics here. This is just a year old and in beta version still. Things can't come together perfectly immediately. How where those platforms doing after 12 months?
